NBA PRESEASON
OVERALL
10-5
O/U
6-6
UNITS
+4
Not a bad preseason run for me considering I've never touched preseason NBA before. +4 units for preseason which isn't bad since most of the bets were for 0.5 unit pulls. I didn't want to put a hit on my bankroll before the season started. Hopefully some of you who followed my picks made some extra money for your NBA bankroll.
Now onto the good stuff:
I usually don't touch the first month or so of the NBA but if and when I choose to take a few bets, it's usually for 0.5 or 2 units at most. Probably won't be any smash bets this early in the season unless I see something I just can't turn down. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as a lock!!!
Here are my two cents for the 3game NBA kick off.
WAS@CLE -5
I really like CLE -5 here for a few reasons. By now everyone probably already knows that Nene and Wall will be out. A frequent counter for that argument is that Uncle Drew just came off a 4 tooth wisdom teeth extraction but he's coming off of rest and should be ready to kick off the NBA season. I don't see oral surgery to affect his play much if at all in this season opener. He practiced this past Sunday which means that he should be near 100% healed from his surgery. He might've lost 5 pounds throughout the healing period but those 5 pounds shouldn't make a big difference since he plays less with strength and more with agility and quickness. Dion Waiter has made the starting line up which is a big emotional boost for him. Although he started off the preseason with subpar performances, he has steadily elevated his play with each game. Look for him to play hard and efficiently because he wants to keep his spot. Anderson Varejao, no matter how ugly his playstyle looks, is effective and will be more so without Nene to challenge him and force him to play scrappier than usual. I also like the UNDER in this game at 188.5. With John Wall and Nene out, look for WAS to slow the pace of the game. Their not going to want to play in favor of Kyrie's uptempo style. I see more half court sets and less possessions and that'll help the game hold under. I don't see either team breaking 90 this game.
As always, follow at your own risk.
